According to a Sydney Morning Herald article published on September 30, 2002, The Wiggles filmed a TV pilot in the mid-90s for the ABC. During production, the ABC thought The Wiggles didn't communicate well with children, so the ABC decided to not have The Wiggles talking throughout the whole pilot and thought they should wear T-shirts, shorts, caps and sneakers to make them look more like kids. Due to the creative differences between the ABC and The Wiggles, the pilot was rejected. After the rejection, The Wiggles decided to make their own TV Series with 13 episodes.[1]
Greg Page has described the pilot, stating that it was filmed in December 1995. It was filmed across 5 days and 1 minute of the 5 minutes pilot was filmed each day. It was completely silent except for two songs, Rock-A-Bye Your Bear and Hot Potato. The rest of the approximately 5-minutes pilot was comprised of silent comedic skits such as The Wiggles riding a four-seated bicycle around Sydney. Greg actually owns a copy of the pilot but stated he can't upload it because it's owned by the ABC. Aside from this description and three photos, the pilot has not been released and is considered lost media.
Trivia[]
- Scenes were filmed in Balmain and Narrabeen, New South Wales.
- According to Paul Field, he asked the ABC to burn the copies shortly after becoming manager of the group.[2]
